How To Navigate The City Of Sheffield

[SputnikBoy]

As if I don't have enough threads on the forum already!

 

Question: Does anyone know any place on the Internet where one might come across a Street Directory of Sheffield? Or, alternatively, is there a way such a directory might be presented on the forum? In that way, some who only have vague recollections of the city and the environs from the distant past may be able to navigate their way around. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hello SputnikBoy

Try google map.

If you type in two separate addresses on opposite sides of the city,you can navigate from one to the other in a choice of scales,with a blue route line showing throughout.

When you get to the start page,click on the link "get directions" (top right,just to right of search button),and then type your two addresses into the "start and end" boxes,and using the directional and zoom scales,away you go.

 

Link is maps.google.co.uk

Thanks very much to those who have contributed to the thread ...in particular those who have provided info and links. They should help tremendously in helping some of us locate specific areas of the city.

Sputnic Boy - honest advice- never, under any circumstances try to drive a car anywhere near or through the city centre. It is almost impossible due to one way systems, bus only lanes for empty buses, tram routes for empty trams, no entries and the like. Just sit at home, study your map and use your imagination. :confused:
